Anyone remember the Mac Cracker?

Pull off the rubber tips. Put the lips in a vise to squish them straight. Voilà! Mini Mac Cracker.

I still have one my dad made in 1986!

I had one back in the day, and still have the screw extractor and the anti-static wrist strap. I decided to make the actual case cracker today, so here's a recap of that adventure.

I don't have an official Mac Cracker, but I just bought a set of torx screwdrivers that have a foot long shaft, and they work just as well

This is very close to the case splitter Applied Engineering shipping with the Transwarp accelerator card I bought for my Mac Classic!
